Advisory
Boot ROM: Calling SCI Bootloader from Application
Revisions Affected
0, A, B
Details
The ROM SCI bootloader uses autobaud lock to lock the baud rate. The SCI baud rate
is split between two registers, SCILBAUD and SCIHBAUD. The ROM SCI bootloader
expects SCIHBAUD to contain its default reset value of zero. If the ROM SCI bootloader
is called from an application that modified the contents of SCIHBAUD to be non-zero, then
the SCI will not autobaud-lock and the SCI bootloader will not execute.
Workaround
Clear SCIHBAUD to zero before calling the ROM SCI Bootloader.
Advisory
Boot-ROM, MPOST: Longer Boot Time With MPOST Enabled
Revisions Affected
0, A, B
Details
When MPOST functionality is enabled through user OTP, the boot-ROM execution time is
around 5 seconds. This is because the boot-ROM executes MPOST with INTOSC clock of
10 MHz, which results in longer boot time.
Workaround
Avoid using boot-ROM supported MPOST and perform necessary memory self-tests as
part of application initialization.
